I still don't see how any of this matters to me? Are you reading what I'm writing or more interested in lecturing somebody today? You keep bringing up arguments I've already said will not sway me. I don't care that my an

I don't want to argue about this or fact check it but I still don't think that matters or changes my mind even if it's true. Turning Canada into a postnational state would still be a terrible decision despite that fact. I sti

It only fits because if you consider Android a nerd OS (I suspect this user does) then your perception will be that everything Android does is for nerds. It doesn't prove anything at all and Apple definitely did not make watches fashio

The same can be said for most of the entire world. That still doesn't make turning your country into a postnational state a good decision. I'm still of the opinion that making Canada a post national state would be devolving the co

Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister of Canada, considers Canada a postnational state. He'd open the borders in a heartbeat if it won him the next election and a scary amount of people in Canada would support it. https://en.m.

The Moto 360 was out before the Apple watch. I know that for a fact because I got one on the release date. They were pretty hard to find when they came out. Apple was late to the game with smartwatches and didn't do a single thing to c

Doesn't seem that cheeky from where I'm standing. You admitted a judicial opinion is different from a personal opinion and you're making fun of my definition of a personal opinion? But you acknowledge a judicial opinion is di

What is the point of your comment? I have no idea what you're trying to say. Liking something and trusting something are different things. I don't trust a single company and it doesn't matter if I like, hate, or love them. Th

What makes you think GP is talking about eugenics? If anything, they're talking about natural selection which is not eugenics. Eugenics is when you select fitness at birth. GP would be endorsing genocide, or maybe epigenetics if anythi
